Bonnie Tyler had it all. Worldwide fame, platinum records, a love that lasted fifty years.
She lacked only one thing. And it wasn’t for lack of desire: it was for lack of time.
“My husband and I always used to say, ‘next year we’ll have a child, next year.’ And ‘next year’ didn’t come until I turned 39.”
She got pregnant almost immediately. And she lost the baby. She called it “a horrible experience”. She tried for two more years. It never happened again.
She herself admitted that her only regret in life was not having tried earlier.
Here is the question her story leaves the world with: does a “perfect moment” really exist? Or does life pass us by while we wait for it?
Bonnie found her peace. She said she did not lack love from little ones: she had 16 nieces and nephews, 12 great-nieces and great-nephews, and 5 godchildren. Her home was always full.
Rest, Bonnie. 💔
